My personal opinion is that feminism was/is an "active measures" initiative of the Soviet KGB, an attack on American society along a critical cleavage, informed by Soviet experts who later became the North America Institute and implemented by an expert propaganda writer for a Communist labor-union periodical, Betty Friedan.
The object of feminism was and is to isolate white men and defeat them through combinations of vanguard-led </Red cant> outgroups against the leadership of American society.
I’ll give you this, subterfuge is the workable MO employed by the “weaker” to control [the Left has infiltrated education, media and politics).
